[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] SSG.com announced on the 25th that it has become the first company in the domestic e-commerce industry to receive the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO 45001) certification.

ISO 45001 is an international standard occupational health and safety management system established in 2018 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). It is awarded to companies that have established management systems to prevent industrial accidents that may occur at workplaces such as logistics centers and to create a safe working environment.

The facilities that obtained the certification this time are SSG.com headquarters and the Neo003 online-only logistics center located in Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do. Since last year, as part of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, the company proactively established a dedicated organization composed of safety and health experts and has been systematically and consistently implementing safety management activities, which received high evaluation.

SSG.com has operated various support programs to improve the safety and health levels of its employees. Separate health care rooms were set up at each Neo center located in Gimpo and Yongin, and health management personnel were assigned. An emergency response system was established for initial actions in case of urgent situations, and health programs were also prepared to regularly monitor the health status of on-site employees.

SSG.com plans to continuously advance safety and health management and accident prevention and response systems this year, and sequentially introduce the occupational health and safety management system certification to Neo 001, Neo 002, and newly opening logistics centers.

An SSG.com official said, “This certification acquisition is significant in that our management system for workplace safety and health has been officially recognized,” and added, “We will make company-wide efforts to create a safe working environment.”
